• The 2018 campaign marks the 10th season overall, and sixth in his current stint at Georgia Southern for head coach Chad Lunsford. Lunsford was promoted from assistant head coach to interim head coach on Oct. 22, 2017. He was named the 10th full-time head coach in the modern era on Nov. 27, 2017. • After working with the wide receivers in 2013, Lunsford worked two seasons with the tight ends and served as recruiting coordinator in 2014 and 2015. In 2017, Lunsford coached the Eagle slot receivers and H-backs and again served in the role of special teams coordinator, a title he added in 2016. He was also named the program’s assistant head coach in 2017. • In 2016, Lunsford was named a Broyles Award nominee, given to the nation’s top assistant coach, as the Eagles blocked seven kicks and featured a Lou Groza Award finalist in Younghoe Koo, who went on to play with the Los Angeles Chargers. • On the recruiting side, Lunsford helped engineer signing classes which featured 22 players and ranked in the top half of the Sun Belt in 2015, also ranked near the top of the Sun Belt in 2014 and in 2016. He was named the Sun Belt’s Best Recruiter in 2016 by Scout. His 2018 class was rated the top in the Sun Belt by 247Sports. • Lunsford returned to Statesboro as wide receivers coach and recruiting coordinator in June 2013 after four years in an administrative position with the Auburn football program. He served in consecutive roles as the Tigers’ Director of Scouting and Director of Player Personnel, assisting with the day-to-day operations of Auburn football, with an emphasis on recruiting, organizing and prospect evaluation. • Lunsford coached the slotbacks in his previous three seasons (2003-05) on the Georgia Southern staff, including the Eagles’ eventual all-time receptions leader Raja Andrews, who finished his career with 127 catches and as the record holder for receiving yards in a single season with 873. • After departing Georgia Southern in 2006, Lunsford spent a year at Griffin High School as a special education teacher and served as the outside linebackers coach. • Two years back at Georgia Military College followed his time at Griffin with Lunsford taking a familiar place as linebackers coach and adding responsibilities as special teams coordinator. • He played at Elbert County High for legendary coach T. McFerrin. During his high school career, Elbert County made four straight appearances in the state playoffs and posted a 20-3 record in his junior and senior years. • Lunsford graduated from Georgia College in May 2000 with a degree in biology and minor in mathematics, and earned a master’s of sport science degree from the United States Sports Academy in 2002. • He and his wife, Tippy, have a son, Rhett, and two daughters, Sophie and Josie. • Lunsford and his family pledged to donate $200,000 over the next four years in honor of his coaching staff to the Coaches Continuity Fund through the Georgia Southern Athletic Foundation in April of 2018.

We are georgIa souThern

With no disrespect to our colleagues in Atlanta, we are Georgia Southern, not Georgia State. We don’t ask for much; heck we think we’re pretty easy to deal with. All we really ask is for media covering the Eagles to get our name right. You can call us Georgia Southern, GS or the Eagles,

just please don’t call us Georgia State!- Sincerely, Eagle Nation

Gettin’ it done in the ClassrooM

• Of the 15 seniors on the 2018 roster, two Eagles are playing the season as college graduates. They are, in alphabetical order: LaBaron Anthony and Ellis Richardson. Additionally, Zack Copeland and RJ Murray, who had their careers cut short by injury and are serving as student assistants, have also graduated. • Five more seniors - Ian Bush, Wesley Fields, Monteo Garrett, Drake Grall and Joshua Moon are scheduled to graduate in December and seniors Jay Bowdry, Kado Brown, Deshon Cooper and Jeremiah Culbreth are on track to graduate in May 2019. Sean Freeman, Logan Hunt and Alex Smith are on track to graduate in summer of 2019. • In addition, junior Lane Ecton has already graduated, juniors Jake Edwards and Colby Ransom are scheduled to graduate in December and juniors Tyler Bass, Jakob Cooper and sophomore Will Browning III are slated to graduate in May 2019. • Junior Obe Fortune is on track to graduate in the summer of 2019.

history in the MakinG

• When redshirt freshman Shai Werts started at quarterback at Auburn last year, he made history as just the third Georgia Southern freshman (true or redshirt) quarterback to start the opening game of the season. • Werts enjoyed quite the rookie campaign, starting 11 of the Eagles’ 12 games. He caught fire late, earning Sun Belt Offensive Player of the Week after leading the Eagles to a 52-0 win over South Alabama. • The Clinton, South Carolina, native finished his freshman year with 929 passing yards, a new school record for freshman quarterbacks. Hall of Famer Tracy Ham previously held the school record for freshman passing yards with 886 in 1983. • Werts finished with 1,486 yards of total offense (929 pass, 722 rush), setting a new freshman record for total offense in a season by a quarterback with 1,651 yards. Kevin Ellison previously held the record with 1,642 yards (886 run, 756 pass) set in 2013. • He had four 100-yard rushing games last year, the first time a GS freshman has had at least that many since Jermaine Austin had seven in 2002. He now has six 100-yard rushing games for his career. • Against Coastal Carolina in last year’s finale, Werts became the first FBS player to lead his team in passing (57), rushing (108) and receiving (30) yards in a game since Keenan Reynolds of Navy accomplised the feat against Pitt in 2015. • So far this season, he has rushed for 472 yards and eight scores (he had three in 11 games last year) while throwing for 414 yards and four scores. For his career, he’s rushed for 1,194 yards and 11 touchdowns while throwing for 1,343 yards and 11 scores.

have a Field(s) day

• Senior running back Wesley Fields has shared the carries with former Eagle Matt Breida, who is with the San Francisco 49ers, and L.A. Ramsby during his time here, but it’s his backfield now. • A threat to go the distance, on the goal line and in the passing game, Fields had a standout freshman

The Savannah native has 167 yards rushing and a score, 152 yards receiving, 74 yards on punt returns and 253 yards on kickoff returns for a total of 646 all-purpose yards. He is averaging 107.7 all-purpose yards per game, fifth best in the Sun Belt. • With the game against Arkansas State tied at 21-all with less than 30 seconds left, Kennedy III took the reverse 47 yards for a touchdown to give the Eagles a big 28-21 win over the Red Wolves as he finished with 105 rushing yards, his first 100-yard game.

Young TalenT

• Of the 113 players on the Eagles’ roster, 51 are freshmen, either true or redshirt (45.1 percent). Unofficially, only Minnesota (53.1 percent), Virginia (50.0 percent), Wake Forest (49.1 percent), UCF (48.0 percent), Penn State (47.5 percent) and Iowa (45.9 percent) have higher percentages of freshmen making up their roster in the FBS. • Another 30 are listed as sophomores, meaning 71.7 percent of Georgia Southern’s roster is made up of sophomores or younger.

kiCkin’ bass

• Junior Tyler Bass had quite the season in 2017 as he took over for Lou Groza Award Finalist Younghoe Koo. He made the Sun Belt’s second-team after hitting 15 of 19 field goals on the season, with nine of them being 40 yards or longer. He kicked a season-long 48-yard field goal against Georgia State and had a 61-yard punt against South Alabama. Handling the kickoffs, he had 46 touchbacks on 54 kickoffs and he only missed one PAT on the season. • His nine field goals of 40-yards or longer were the second-most in a season behind only Tim Foley’s 10 in 1985. He will now set his sights on moving up the school’s all-time list for field goals of 40 yards or longer: 22 ..... David Cool (1988-91) 19 ..... Tim Foley (1984-87) 14 ..... Adrian Mora (2008-11) 12 ..... Reed Haley (1992-94) 12 .... Tyler Bass (2016-) 9 ....... Scott Shelton (2001-02)

Quite the roundabout Journey

• Senior Ellis Richardson has taken quite the route to get from his hometown of Atlanta to Statesboro. Upon graduating from Douglas County High in 2013, where he was a first-team all-region and all-county selection at quarterback, he enrolled at prep school in Virginia. • He then transferred to Los Angeles Valley College in the fall of 2014 as a true freshman and then transferred to Alabama State in the spring of 2015. Richardson played in nine games in 2015 at Alabama State, throwing for 739 yards and six touchdowns while rushing for 550 yards and eight scores. • After transferring to Georgia Southern in January 2016, he had to sit out per NCAA transfer rules and used it as a redshirt season. In the spring, he was moved to tight end and has thrived at the new position.

oFF the top rope

• Defensive line coach Victor Cabral, who was a standout defensive lineman for the Eagles from 2000-2004, took a unique approach to fundraising this past offseason. Wanting to help Athletes in Action raise money for their annual Spring Break Mission Trip, Cabral trained with American Premier Wrestling - a professional wrestling organization - before taking to the squared circle on Aug. 29 as part of Summer Steam held on campus. • Cabral teamed with “Big Country” Clay Teston to take on the Roman Empire and after getting slammed through a table at his signing ceremony, Cabral came back to exact revenge a week later, picking up the win all while raising money for a good cause.

honorinG edWin

• Head coach Chad Lunsford announced in February that the walk-on tryouts for the GS program moving forward will be named in honor of Edwin Jackson, who died Feb. 4, 2018 in an automobile accident in Indianapolis.

the Gata chain • Georgia Southern has a unique was of rewarding the defensive player responsible for a turnover in the handing out of the GATA Chain. Designed, cut and welded by former Eagle football player T.J. Rutledge (2002-05), the chain - which is a symbol of the Eagles’ blue collar work ethic - is made of stainless steel and weighs seven pounds. • So far this season, GS has forced 14 turnovers (seven interceptions, seven fumble recoveries).



• Jackson went through the tryout process at Georgia Southern to earn a spot on the team and worked his way up to eventual starter before moving on to start in the NFL with the Indianapolis Colts. • As a junior in 2013, Jackson totaled a team-best 92 tackles, including a team-leading 13 stops in a 26-20 upset win against Florida in The Swamp. He was voted team captain by his teammates and recorded a career-high 100 tackles as a senior in helping the Eagles win the Sun Belt Conference Championship in the school’s inaugural year competing at the FBS level in 2014. He was awarded first-team All-Sun Belt honors for his performance on the field. • He was an undrafted free agent who went to the Arizona Cardinals’ camp, but was one of the final cuts. He joined the Indianapolis Colts’ practice squad in late 2015 and went on to start eight games at linebacker in 2016 for the Colts. He did not play in 2017 season due to an injury. • Jackson created the Edwin Jackson 53 Foundation, which holds football clinics, fitness camps and after-school programs for disadvantaged youth, and supports student athletes who do not have scholarships. • The Eagles are wearing a “EJ40” sticker on their helmets this season — Jackson wore No. 40 at GS — to honor his legacy with proceeds from hat sales with the same logo going toward his foundation.

GeorGia southern Football traditions

• Georgia Southern has a rich tradition in the college football world, winning six Division I-AA national titles, but also has traditions that make the program unique.

Yellow School Buses • When the football program was resurrected in 1981, the team needed a way to travel to practices and games. Operating on a shoestring budget didn’t allow for transportation back then, let alone any luxurious travel. The Bulloch County Board of Education stepped in with a deal the University couldn’t refuse: GS would only pay $1 each for two yellow school buses. The football team still uses the buses to this day, taking them to practices and using them on game day, as well.

Beautiful Eagle Creek • When Georgia Southern resurrected the football program in 1981, traditions and spirit needed resurrection as well. So legendary head football coach Erk Russell created his own. Inspired by the gnat-infested drainage ditch that cut across the field between what was then the team’s locker room and practice fields, Russell convinced his players that its stagnant water was actually “Beautiful Eagle Creek,” a source of “magical” waters.

Freedom’s Flight • In what has become one of the most popular traditions at GS, “Freedom,” a male American Bald Eagle, takes flight before each home football game. Freedom is a Southern Bald Eagle that was found knocked out of the nest in Maitland, Florida. Only weeks old and appearing like a “brown ball of fuzz”, it was discovered that the young eagle had an injury to its beak and suffered from an infection. Rushed to the Florida Audubon Center for Birds of Prey, Freedom made a complete recovery from the infection but the injury to the beak was permanent, preventing his release into the wild. • With the permission of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, GS acquired Freedom in 2004. Through the Georgia Southern University Center for Wildlife Education and Lamar Q. Ball Jr. Raptor Center, thousands of visitors young and old are embraced by the Power of Freedom. • Under the supervision of Steve Hein, Director of the Center for Wildlife Education, Freedom is on the sidelines of all GS home games, and select road games.

retired nuMbers

• GS has retired two numbers in its football history, No. 3 for Adrian Peterson and No. 8 for Tracy Ham. Both are College Football Hall of Famers and both went to the same high school: Santa Fe in Alachua, Florida. • Peterson, a 2017 College Football Hall of Fame Inductee, is the NCAA Division I all-time leading rusher with 6,559 yards in regular-season contests and was a four-time All-American. He led the Eagles to two national titles and three championship games. He is currently the director of student-athlete development for the Georgia Southern football program. • Ham, a 2007 College Football Hall of Fame Inductee was also inducted into the Canadian Football Hall of Fame in 2010. A first-team All-American in 1986, he led the Eagles to back-to-back I-AA National Championships (1985, 1986). He too works in the athletics department, serving as the senior associate AD for internal operations.

STATESBORO - The Georgia Southern football team picked up a workmanlike 37-6 victory over South Carolina State at Allen E. Paulson Stadium in the season opener for both squads.Key Scoring Plays: • The Eagles got on the board first when Monteo Garrett punched it in from 1 yard out to cap a 42-yard scoring drive on the second drive of the game. • After Ty Phillips picked up a fumble and rumbled 17 yards to put the Eagles in scoring position, Shai Werts faked the pitch and kept in on the near side, bouncing off several tacklers for a 23-yard touchdown. • Wesley Fields capped off the opening drive of the second half with a 1-0 yard plunge to widen the gap. • South Carolina State finally got on the board late in the third quarter with a time-consuming 18-play drive that ate up over 9 minutes off the clock, but the PAT was blocked by Raymond Johnson III. • Werts scored his third touchdown of the game late in the fourth quarter, keeping on the option and scampering 14 yards for the score.
